Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The energy in joules corresponding to the destruction of the given matter needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The matter is converted from one form to another since it is neither created nor destroyed.
As a result of this process of conversion, large amounts of energy is generated.
Joules is the S.I unit for energy.
The energy transferred from one object is known as one joule of energy. This occurs when a force of one newton acts on the object in that direction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The energy in mega electron volts that would be released if one alpha particle were completely destroyed needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A fast-moving paticle which consists of two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. With a helium nucleus, they carry +2 charge and they strongly interact with matter.
1 mega electron volt or 1MeV is said to be equal to 1000000eV.
Electron volt or eV is the unit of energy.
One eV is said to be equal to

- Show the full mechanism of how the molecule ((1E, 3E, 5E)-1-methoxyhepta-1,3,5-triene) is built using substitution and elimination reactions. You can start with an alkane of any carbon length with any number of leaving groups attached or with a alkoxide of any carbon length (conjugate base of an alcohol). Show each step and and explanation for each reaction. Also include why the reagents and solvents were picked and what other products can be expected.arrow_forwardProblems 1. Acids (11) and (12) were both made by Grignard addition to CO2 rather than by cyanide displacement (p T 80). Why? (11) -CO2H MeO- (12) CO,Harrow_forward2. Aldehyde (8) was needed for a butenolide synthesis. How would (8) be made? CHOarrow_forward

If Cul is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). b. If Cu2+ is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). c. If a solution of AgNO3 is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). d. If the solvent hexane (C6H14) is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). Hint: one of the reaction species is more soluble in hexane than in water. e. If the reaction is cooled, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). f. Which of the changes above will change the equilibrium constant, K?arrow_forward
